WOMEN recognized for philanthropy
WOMEN of Southwestern PA was recently awarded the Outstanding Philanthropy Organization from the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Western Pennsylvania for 2018. WOMEN of Southwestern PA Inc., is a charitable nonprofit organization based in the South Hills, dedicated to directly supporting less fortunate women and children in Allegheny, Washington, Greene and Fayette counties.
By contributing grants of $500 to $2,500, the organization has helped numerous smaller, non-profit organizations get off the ground and grow.
To date, WOMEN of Southwestern PA has distributed almost $578,000 in grants. Each November, the group sponsors a grant recipient dinner where each organization that received a grant that year talks about how the grant was spent.
WOMEN of Southwestern PA will be honored at a luncheon on National Philanthropy Day, Nov. 15, at the Fairmont Hotel in Pittsburgh.
